Embracing Boundlessness
Whether personally recognized or left unacknowledged, boundlessness is an attribute intrinsic to all beings. It is your inherent right to know yourself as a necessary, irreplaceable component of the entirety of consciousness. You are a fractal of God; signifying you have immediate access to explore all of creation, as well as full capability to utilize your own sovereign creativity. There is no such thing as becoming or achieving boundlessness, but rather a process of understanding that it is, and always will be, an innate trait within you.
A common misconception, is that a sense of boundlessness can only be perceived through shifting your focus away from the physical world and into altered states of awareness. However, there is no real separation between these different states, only the experience as if that it such, which is brought about by the utilization of a belief in dimensional supremacy. There is no difference in value, or even freedom, between one level of reality, or dimension, verses another. They are all seamlessly linked, and uniquely expressed through the participants who observe these various angles of consciousness. You don’t have to “leave” your primary reality in order to perceive another, for there is nothing hidden that needs to be found; there is no where else to “go”. There is, rather, a desire to rekindle curiosity as it begins to fade, and the choice to embark on a more thorough expedition of the reality one finds themselves within. For it is there, at the exact point you are presently, where boundlessness can be remembered, rediscovered, and reinstated in your beliefs as your birthright.
From this perspective, it is possible to attune yourself to your boundless nature at will, without the requirement of a ritual or the need to “remove” an aspect of your identity in order to gain greater awareness. Its a contradictory practice to seclude any aspect of yourself from the whole, as it invalidates the idea that all levels of your being are essentially rooted in boundlessness, including all facets of the Human experience.
It takes great creative power and a masterful mind to configure a reality in such a way that it appears to be riddled with limitations. Such a being MUST be boundless in order to be so enthralled by the idea of navigating a series of apparent unknowns, and the opportunity to remember its own power through a game of “discovery”. The Human experience is a product of this burning curiosity, intently created for the purpose of play and perspective. Physical reality is individually and personally designed, therefore it is an entirely subjective series of symbols, arranged and understood uniquely by each participant. Meaning, you have ultimate creative freedom to explore, define, and frame your Human experience based upon your strongest desires or fears.
Boundlessness exists right here in the physical world, intimately woven into every detail of your life. Simply the actuality of choice, which is utilized in every moment, serves as a constant reminder of this truth. There are unlimited options available, which lead to unlimited experiences. The only inhibiting factors in making choices that reflect your boundless nature, are beliefs that support contradictory ideas. In other words, you are so adept at creating a convincing display of limitations, that you’ve retracted your trust in your own boundlessness; a brilliant paradox at play.
Every choice, action, and resulting experience, is immanently valid and therefore implies there is great freedom and purpose to be found in even the so-called “mundane”. By understanding your ability to assign value to anything that occupies your awareness, physical reality undergoes a softening; a gentle dismissal of intensity. From this point of view, the link between boundlessness and the physical experience comes into clear focus. Suddenly, everything around you will reflect this quality. Driving your car represents the feeling of ultimate freedom, listening to a family member who’s amidst a challenge reminds you of the beauty and richness of the entire spectrum of emotions, and the act of paying a bill serves as a mirror into the days of make-believe, renewing the childhood game of “playing house”.
I’ve familiarized myself with boundlessness by associating certain feeling-states with that concept, which allows me to apply those feelings to any circumstance. My personal definition of boundlessness is “ultimate creative freedom”, which provides the livelihood to all of my endeavors and self-expressions. I understand myself to be an immediate extension of this energy, and have seen it animate and vitalize me when I impart my trust upon it. It has supplied me with the confidence to embody an assortment of identities, as I continue to discover myself each day from a new point of view. I’ve portrayed myself to be of many genders, many names, many ages, many limitations, and many definitions of what it means to be “Willow”. I’ve developed great reverence for the expression of individuality, and the way boundlessness is both the product and the producer of it.
This realization of my connectivity with boundlessness has influenced me most profoundly through my dreamtime experiences. The vivid recollection, rich symbolism, and malleable nature of my dreams is a persistent reminder of the infinite facets of my being, and the diverse expanse of my awareness. I’ve seen through the eyes of many of my parallel lives, several of which are not designed upon a physical reality template. My consciousness has traveled as a formless awareness, perceiving events and obtaining instant understanding to the unknowns I observe.
Though dreamtime interaction with boundlessness is keenly impactful, it can present itself just as powerfully amidst a challenge in physical reality. I experienced intermittent phases of eating disorders over the course of several years, and was able to recover every time by my own will. Despite making choices that reinforced ideas of limitations and struggle, I never fully disconnected from the intrinsic boundlessness I knew to be true. Regardless of appearances, no matter how convinced I may have been of my belief in a disconnect, it is factually impossible. My consciousness is compartmentalized to perceive and engage in both the limited and the limitless; choosing to believe each under specific circumstances. I came to the understanding that even in the most restricted, seemingly finite moments, the opposite is always immediately available. This realization is what enabled me to choose to heal, and believe it was possible.
The only basis in which boundlessness seems out of reach, is when trust is placed within the assumption of a division between the creation and the creator. The core of your being knows no hindrance; use that awareness to find beauty in the craftsmanship of your challenges. For it is only the unlimited, the boundless, who can conceive of such a dream, who can devise such a masterpiece—whose validity stands within a paradox.
With gratitude,
~Willow
